Family History of Lake George

A little family history...
My great-grandmother bought some property during the Depression on Lake George. She sold off a lot of it, but kept the shoreline property. She built a "cabin" (we never could understand why they called them cabins - they were huge houses!) where her family could vacation in the summers. As her kids grew older and brought their families to Lake George they gradually built three more "cabins". Just recently they bought the last house on the point, so now the entire point is owned by Rowans (Rowan Point). It was very important to my great-grandmother to preserve the natural environment and beauty of Lake George. She, together with my great uncle Hank, bought 300 feet of shoreline and 6,645 acres on the opposite shoreline, which is now called "Margaret Rowan Boyd Preserve." When she died a monument was set up in her honor. It was fun learning a little bit of family history, and experiencing the natural beauty of Lake George. Above are pictures of her monument, and the "cabins" around the lake.
